We are from the southern US and we both love New Mexico cuisine with all the chili. It is quite different from what we are accustomed to, however...

Jambo Cafe is an African/Caribbean restaurant in a large space in a strip mall. My jerked chicken was excellent as was the key lime pie. Be sure to visit the adjacent retail space which has African items for sale. I even found some Piri Piri, an African spice for jerking chicken. I have never seen this for sale since my...
